City Attorney Scott Stalker were absent.

CONSIDER NEW EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE
The council discussed the bids for a new health insurance plan for city
employees. In order to cut costs, Councilmember Mynatt moved in regards to
city council insurance, the city pay for the councilmember premium only and not
for any dependant coverage. Councilmember Krug seconded. The roll call count
was three for (Cooke, Krug and Mynatt) and four against (Carpenter, Pectol,
Smart and Terrell). The motion failed. Councilmember Terrell moved to accept
the bid from White River Insurance and to go with Option 2-A as of January 1St
contingent upon the Municipal League waving their required 30 day notice for
cancellation. Councilmember Carpenter seconded and all voted for except
Councilmember Cooke who abstained from voting.
The new insurance is a four-tier plan therefore in order to cut costs,
Councilmember Krug moved to not "double cover" on the dependant coverage.
Councilmember Carpenter seconded and all voted for. If any dependant of an
employee has insurance from another source, the employee must waive
coverage for that dependant.
There being no further business, Councilmember Krug moved that the
meeting be adjourned. Councilmember Mynatt seconded and all voted for.
